Faculty Advisor
As a graduate student in nursing you will be assigned a faculty
member who serves as your advisor. This person is your mentor and
guide through the program. Please consult your advisor regularly
to assist you with any issues or problems you may encounter and to
help you with career planning.
- M.S.N. and Post-M.S.N.
Your faculty advisor will explain the program, advise and assist
in planning your course of study, and guide your research
utilization activities. Your advisor works with you in planning
and implementing your final evidence-based practice project (NUR
605). You are expected to plan your program of study with your
faculty advisor at the beginning of your program, or no later
than the advance registration date for your second semester. The
plan is to be filed in your Student Services record. If you wish
to change the planned program, consult your advisor who will
help you determine that a change in the program of study is
appropriate, feasible and necessary. You may elect additional
coursework beyond the minimum required for your designated
program (M.S.N. only). This additional work can include study of
a research area, functional area (teaching or management), or
another area of clinical specialization. Such work should be
planned with your advisor, and consent of instructor(s) obtained
for course enrollment(s).
- Ph.D.
The assistant dean for research and the Ph.D. program serves as
advisor for doctoral students during their first semester of
study and assists them in identifying a major professor (chair)
to serve as mentor and advisory committee chair. Once a major
professor is identified, the professor and student work together
to form a committee. Once a committee is determined, the chair
requests that the assistant dean puts forward the committee for approval by the Graduate School (see Advisory Committee
Request Form).
- D.N.P.
Each D.N.P. student has a faculty advisor assigned prior to
admission. Students will work with their faculty advisors and
the program director to select a clinical mentor by the
beginning of the second semester of study.
